You're getting 85% and I'm getting 15%?

Why would I impoverish myself?

Naturally, from now on I'll, pay for

this house, trips, all your materials.

This house is mine.

I'll pay all. Trips, expenses, all.

You're the self-destructive type! At the

same time a good guy who can't say no.

No worry, we'll sell everything

and cut gallery's commission.

No! I arrange everything

from now on! I don't need you!

You don't have any rights.

I'm in charge of all.

How come? Give me my things

or I'll see you in the court!

Court will take years.

I'm going to sue you,

I'll get my negatives back.

You'll just waste time and money.

Be happy

that I'm looking after your affairs.

I'll be like a child in a sweetshop

if you look after it... Police?

- Is it quiet in there?

- Yeah, everything's alright.

The negatives were here.

Please take pictures there.

And then shoot more there.

Over there you can take pictures.

- You're the owner of the house?

- Yes! -What was stolen?

Everything. 3.000 negatives.

All I've done in my life!

- Gentlemen.

- Hello. -What's going on here?

- The gentlemen are investigating

the robbery. -Who are you?

- I'm the owner.

- Co-owner?

No, the sole owner. Here,

I've brought you the deed and my I.D.

- Jan is the grandfather of my child.

- Give me that.

I bought it. This house belongs to me.

How come your name is here?

What scam is this?

Don't believe this, this is a sting.

Some negatives...

Not some negatives.

I lost my entire life's work.

Nothing's lost. I've checked everything.

From what are you concluding

that nothing can be missing?

I also have a theft report

concerning your studio...

Yes, they robbed me there also!

- Who's the owner of that space?

- I'm the owner of it. -No. I'm the owner.

- Okay.

- So you're the owner.

Okay. Come by the station tonight.

- Bring all evidence, the deed.

- Okay. We'll stop by.

That's everything?

Wait. Not that, I need that.

We must investigate this here.

We're taking every step that's necessary.

I believe you.

But you must do it now, here.

Why don't you take her fingerprints?

She has a friend upstairs,

how about if she will take all away,

I'll never see her again. You're losing

valuable time. Don't walk away, I beg you.

- One moment!

- Jan, please don't make a scene here.

- Come on.

- Please don't leave. Stay here.

- Sit down.

- You have to investigate.

It's fine. He's a bit hysterical.

- Have some water. You alright?

- No.

Excellent. So, like I said,

come by the station tonight. Let's go.

- You signed the house over to yourself?

- Yes.

- It won't hold up in court.

- It was paid for from my account.

That's a scam.

- De facto it was my account.

- Our courts don't care about it!

The account was in my name.

My family contributed to the house.

Where would they get the money? Unless

they sold all the pictures I'd given them.

No one's throwing you out.

You can live here.

- You can have the whole bottom floor.

- How could you do this to me?

I would have done

everything for you, Jan.

I loved you.

You didn't love me.

I'm afraid something happened to him.

Pull over! Stop... go back.

This is where he jogs. That'll be him.

- Where?

- Stop!

Jan? Jesus. There he is!

- Jan!

- What are you doing here?

- Go away. -Get up, dad.

- Grab him. -You can't lie here like this.

- Lift him up. -There was such

a beautiful quietness here.

- Good.

- Leave me alone.

Why is it you just

spoil everything for me?

What the...

- I'm in a monastery?

- No.

We're looking after you.

We're the Sisters of St. Juliana.

You have pneumonia. You had

a very high fever. You were raving.

Where's my stuff?

- Where's my phone?

- Not here.

Your family didn't want

anyone to disturb you.

I have a lot of commitments. Let me go.

- Damn, you're strong, madam.

- No... don't say that word.

- What? "Madam" bothers you?

- Quiet.

Congratulations on your

first solo exhibition.

You raise kids, you look after a firm,

and your photos are a hit.

Where do you get the strength?

Right. I've got plenty of strength.

Nothing's really been a burden for me.

One shouldn't just complain

but must pivot well. That's probably it.

Who said I have pneumonia?

Was a doctor here?

Yes.

Some people criticize

that you imitate the maestro.

Where'd you get that? Absolutely not!

He taught me craft,

but that's not a photograph.

A photo... it's about the soul

and I have an independent one!

But you make similar scenes

against the maestro's walls.

Yeah, indeed.

Jan and I inspire one another.

I have to see someone

but we don't say goodbye yet, right?

Thank you.

Where is he?

We know everything. Where's Jan?

What's it to you?

No kidding. Return everything

to Jan that belongs to him!

It's taking a great effort

not to smash your face in.

Who you think you are? Once in blue moon

you screw him, then you disappeared.

I was with him when he felt sick.

Don't lecture me here!

You knew what you were doing.

He never pretended.

None of his faults gives you

the right to rob the man and destroy him.

- That's vulturism, lady.

- I've stolen from no one!

I saved Jan!

And I saved Jan's work.

And you, dear, watch your beak.

Or I'll sue you for slander.

- Is that clear?

- Pathetic.

- Where's dad? -If you were more

interested, you'd know. Get lost, brat!

- How do you dare?

- You too, interloper. No one invited you.

Hello. I'm... Sorry.

- Michal Badatel. Do you remember?

- Yeah, I remember.

Do you know where Jan is?

I haven't been able to find him.

- You can all get out!

- We are going to call police!

I'm glad to see you.

Can you explain to me why are you

so indulgent with these dumb photos

and heap such scorn on Jan's?

Dear Vera, because

no one gives a sh*t here

about the difference

between mediocrity and genius. That's why.

A mistake.

Evidentially, nothing's wrong. Look.

I can breathe like a diver. Someone

gave me some pills, righteous sisters.

Are you even a sister?

Or a virgin?

I was told you should have total peace!

Sister of Mercy, may I,

with your love and understanding,

free your tits from your blouse?

Do something for this miserable sinner!

Commit an act of Christian charity

and tell me:

are you physically equipped

the same as the sinners outside?

Do you have it... do you have...

A c*nt?

Return to your bed!

What is it?

- What's going on?

- Hello! Open up!

- We're coming for dad.

- You can't come in here.

What is that you wearing?

- Get dressed. -I have nothing.

- Are you okay? -Yeah.

How'd you find me?

Marek eventually came

to his senses and told us.

Dad, the house is yours, after all.

So you'll live here with us.

Yeah.

- This is dad and this is Karel.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Jesus, your belly's big!

- We wanted to tell you. -Congratulations.

Come on.

How would you like to prove it?

The truth is a beautiful thing, but

I have to decide based on the evidence.

Right now, I have no evidence

that the defendant took your negatives.
